1949 Kansas City Monarchs Home Cap

The Kansas City Monarchs were the longest-running franchise in Negro Leagues history - ten pennants, a World Series title in 1924, and the launchpad for Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks, and Satchel Paige. The 1949 season tells a particular kind of story: they won their division's first-half pennant but couldn't field a full playoff roster - too many players had been traded to integrating major league clubs. This New Era 59FIFTY fitted cap is sold through the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. Wear the history.
